Hello beautiful people!
Volume 1 of my Demos mixtape is out everywhere now! Four new tracks dropped today
Check it out and let me know what you think here

Lyrics:
Hello
Uh, its Ren
I dont really know how to start this letter
fuck it
Is this life really what it seems
‘cause latley I’ve been in this place between awake and dreams
i know i only reach out to you when I’m feeling blue
i promise im not using you
I’m just confused
I’ve got some questions I would like some answers too
like is there meaning to this state of short existence?
my exestential thoughts sure hope there are cause I’m resistant
to thinking that there won’t be something better in the distance
and god is there and afterlife where pain is non existent
if your up there god do you sit upon a throne?
or a you a humble soul wearing sandals and tattered clothes
do you mingle with the people like an equal
then on sundays just kick back and chill and put your feet up
did i really choose this life that I’m living now
will my sins be forgiven if i speak them out
i won’t lie to you god if there is a heaven
i really hope i get there cause for real it sounds like heaven
reading passed the lines
i just let go
searching for prophets
my faith it is paper thin
so many questions in my mind
they replay like an echo
they never stop my messiah is porcelain
dear god
why do people kill each other in your name?
is it really what you want or have we lost our way?
cause it seems like religion can cause division
or people living in prisons of moral values they’re given
what is right and what is wrong
am i a sinner if i dont comply with everything that moses said
or is that dumb
and why do people disguise hatred in your name
homophobia, a history of violent wars, and causing people
high priests in their towers stacking riches
women burnt at the stake called witches
in the name of god, allah, zeus, jesus
people claiming lives justified by your alligance
i think its more complex than good versus evil
i think that theres both darkness and light inside people
and through different eyes a man called a terrorist
could be a freedom fighter if he’s fighting for the side you’re with
reading passed the lines
i just let go
searching for prophets
my faith it is paper thin
so many questions in my mind
they replay like an echo
they never stop my messiah is porcelain
So is it ignorant to claim that we know what you want
and if i fast for the sabbath is that what you want
or is tradition just superstition,
religion a human vision just crafted out of peoples ambition
listen
i knew a girl that lost a baby before it was born
what is the purpose of that god
what is it for
why did my best friends die
before i hit 25
is it cause there is something better in the afterlife
god, I’ve been feeling suicidal lately
mental health is worsening
feels like it might break me
if you’re watching, you know that I’ve been strong
but god how much longer do i have to hold on
please just give me some solace
so that i know you’ve got my back
please just give me some relief
god, is that too much to ask?
QuaLiTy REN as always your a Top man X✌️🖤
Tank you❤
just got it on spotify and mate creativity is drippen everywhere lukaholiccc on instagram me and ma gurl literally bonded with your music thx mate
you blow my mind with every song you create, i was crying by the end of this. Hope you're well Ren
Thank you for your mind. Pure art!
man i wish stuff like this came on the radio and not that trash they play all the time...
I put it on my playlist and have Alexa play it for me! But I agree, I wish the radio would play this it would reach people who don't go looking for it but need it.
They will never play a song like this on the radio because the controllers of this world hate Jesus and so do most of the world. They only mock Christ and not any other religion, we live in a fallen world my friend
@jaw1970 bro im Christan myself, baptized and all. But please. Respectfully. Shut the fuck up. People like you commenting and saying things like "controllers of this world" are the reason we get made fun of so much.
Can you still call the radio and request songs?
You want it there because you can relate to the lyrics so it's confirmation bias for you. Their POV is that life is constant cope and when people think about it, they get closer to bad stuff happening to them, so it's a bad idea to remind them of how it is. So they would rather play happy braindead music.
“Through different eyes a man called a terrorist could be a freedom fighter if he’s fighting for the side your with” wow
this reminds me of when i was a kid playing video games with my brother and trying to explain to him why there are no real bad guys
@@sammmrosd3524 or there are no real good guys
I don't want to take away from this song or anything, but like...... Isn't that kind of obvious?
@@fatjuicymeatball2266 not to a lot of people. the "us vs them" mindset is the root of most racism, foreign hate, white supremacy etc. our brains are still evolutionary programmed to think "our tribe good their tribe bad" because until we started living in cities, meeting a different group of people was genuinely terrifying. it doesn't help that a large portion of our current world leaders also push narratives to polarize the people to divide and conquer, making us fight among ourselves instead of looking at what's wrong with society at a macro level. Trump is a prime example of this, and he has perfected the "art".
so while it SHOULD be obvious, it really isn't. the Palestine vs Israel conflict is literally kids fighting for a toy, and because all Abrahamic religion has placed such an importance on the land, it'll never end.
The truth is obvious. Hypocrites are those who claim to fight for truth, aka, THEIR truth. Truth existed before we did and we know it. Anyone confused knows they are confused. Admitting the confusion and weakness is the hard part.
It's as If Ren is living in my brain because the lyrics of this masterpiece are just too much to bare, I really relate alot so thank u
Did you think them or did the evolution of our society bring you to think what we all think and all those that came before us
@@designerama1099 wait huh? "them"?
Wolfer Night them as in lyrics and the understanding this shit ass society develop make you understand the lyrics he meant
Yeah it is same for me
Tho I found him like 5- 6 days earlier
I am living these songs
I think I am a creep for falling hard. YOU are something special!! Xox from Oregon!!!!
I am currently going down this Ren rabbit hole. Started with "Hi Ren" witch blew me away enough that i watched every reaction video that i could find these past 6 Days. Every Song i found either hit so close to Home that i had to hold back tears or just pinned me in place by lyricism and delivery skill. I feel like this is the first time in a long while that i understood what Art means.
Same😅
Same, "Hi Ren" then down the rabbit hole with Ren and The Big Push (Bad w/ him in it)
Ditto.. 🙌🙌
Same, same, amazing
I'm on that train ride now too...
How long will it last?
Even though I don't really believe in God like that (my family does) this hits way to close to home
same lol
S A M E !
Rachel Renate Reach out to Him! He’s there for you now and forever :)
same
Ditto
Man, you are such a versatile artist. I feel like almost every song you put out is a completely new creative entity.
Can't wait to see you proper famous lad, support from Ireland.
Thanks so much man!
@@RenMakesMusic wish u responded more! Xo love from minnesota u.s.a
its a coming bro x
Yeah it is!
@Ren hey bro, I'm 45 and you music just seems to be another level!!.. such an old mind on young shoulders... your music is truly inspirational...
"and through different eyes a man called a terrorist
could be a freedom fighter if he’s fighting for the side you’re with"
that hits deep idk why
Because its true XD
We generally don't realize we're the bad guy until someone tells us or we take the time to self reflect.
Bias, perspective, it all depends on the angle you take and where you stand!
Example: Suicide Bombers, and the phrase they say before doin their job
Cuz it's fact.
When i read this comment it was exactly that part. Nice
Ren's voice on "Reading past the lines" in unreal
Me: Dear God, the music scene is so dry it’s like an artistic desert. Why is the industry so formulaic? It’s been so long since I saw anything really original like music used to be. Can I at least just have some hope for music in the present?
God: My dear son, try listening to my boi, Ren.
Me: Dear God. Thank you! Ren’s work is musical manna from Heaven. At last I can feel something real again. You DO care!
Hehehe❤️🙏🏻
Perfect!
100 % truth !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The deeper I look the more amazed I am of this man. undeniably honest and poetic. talented is an understatement. emotional hero to many. Just WOW brother... WOW!!!
that would be some good lyrics
Wow, I'm a fan. I seen a lot of comments (especially from people in our 40s, that I noticed) about how finding Ren has reignited their passion for authentic and all rounded proper artistry. Almost like we had not noticed just how much we been starving for it.
I started out this weekend hoping Em would get his ears on Ren, a collab perhaps? Then to signing him then to, fuck this dude has potential of Prince level. I'm so impressed!
I really hope you get all the healing you wished for and quickly, their is a whole world waiting for you! Peace to your heart 💚
same in my 40 can't stop listing to all his songs
I'm Catholic and I think this is the most beautiful prayer I've heard in a while. Keep your feet, friend.
ren, you have a talent. not just doing music, also searching inside of you and letting ppl see other points of view. this lyrics really felt like it was my mind that was exposing them.
much love, take care of yourself please
Ren you're my idol haha. One of the best artists I've ever heard!
Even as an atheist, I absolutely adore this song 💕 Just found you today and I'm so glad I did, each of your songs is a unique gem 💎
Ren's agnostic, plus, the song heavily critiques religion, and mocks the concept of a god, making it seem useless and even harmful, something that I totally agree with btw, so being atheist and liking the song makes perfect sense
@@averagemetalhead9962 Yeah, like, this song is pretty much what most atheists, especially the vocal ones think.
@@averagemetalhead9962 nah pretty much christians thinks this too
@@irrelevanttroll3312 why tf are they even christians then
@@averagemetalhead9962 i think i mean Agnostic So I should have researched Further
I went from funny Luigi explaining capitalism to himself to "and throught different eyes a man called a terrorist
could be a freedom fighter is he's fighting for the side your with"
And honestly I'm fine with it.
Came from the same path.
At first I thought "eh, Ren's money game song is his one best song, I'll just listen to that one" but now I gave this song a chance and I gotta say, this is pretty good.
same lmao, i thought he would be that kinda one hit wonder and I am pleasantly surprised lol
MY EXACT THOUGHT
Everybody drops, Humble, How to be me, Life is funny and others are on a par with money game!!
Every single one of his songs are like that.
Hello Gabriel
No matter what we do or do not believe in, we can all relate to this song. I found you through a meme, and I'm glad I did.
Same here, a truly incredible artist indeed
Me too, on 9gag. "she sells sea shells"
@@niveshproag3761 on the sea shore
Good ol' Luigi opens eyes
Luigi has good music taste
Hi Ren! I’m a 66yr old male and I went down the rabbit hole 5 days ago after seeing Hi Ren. You are an Absolute Genius, this song is such a beautiful prayer. I am not religious in the least but your songs are so beautiful, why do they make me cry? Love you Budd, hope your health takes a turn for greatness. God you are so talented, it’s truly a blessing! Love your work dude. Stay well and positive always! Matt
Hi Matt same for me ..love this so much ..Ren has made me look at my life in a whole new way through his words 🙏💕
59 and ditto
Ren you're the reason im here and happy, your music has helped me out through so much. You're such an inspiration to me and i love everything you do. It's all so true and just what others are scared to speak of. Thank you for everything and helping out not just me but many many othera
I actually came across this artist/lyrical genius over a year ago. I was struggling with decades of depression, anxiety, and spirituality I was lost. My faith was being upended due to my brother's terminal cancer diagnosis. This song specifically (but the artist in general) really touches the soul and got me through some dark times, so thanks, man. Ren has remarkable talent and his music is a gift His melodies bring light to a sometimes cruel world. This guy is a living legend tbh. He is mind-blowing, kind, has a huge heart, and is beyond inspiring. Rave over lol.
I just don't know what to say. I keep on discovering more and more art from you Ren. This is such a beautiful and sad song. Stay strong.. lots of love.
Dear God, thank you for Rens music. Thank you for all the light that shines out the dark...
Pure Gold Ren. Nothing as beautiful as watching you evolve.
It looks like a letter from a seeker addressed to himself. beautiful
This song almost legitimately made me cry.
As a Christian I really really like this song
He asked some questions that I personally wonder myself
Very nice to listen to and when I tell you I almost cried. I almost cried.
Same
I'm an atheist and I cried neverthelss :') beautiful song
Christian here and couldn’t agree more
I found this song very respectful and honest
Cried. Shaking nervous energy. "God complex comes out of you"
I’m a 76 year old white man, Ren the world needs you now if ever. Love you Bud.
What a beautiful man..he's a walking work of art!! 😍
Feels good to know that many of us have those thoughts. It’s somehow easier to get through this together. Keep up the great work Ren! Sending love from Poland ❤️
Some of us create beauty on this earth, ren is one of them.
Just when you think that they are so many different people and ways how to creat art of music and it’s very hard to be different and creative and also good, then Ren appears with his brilliance.
Absolutely love your art
Genius ❤️🔥
Wow, Ren just continues to astound me. His work is absolutely unique, yet he gives a voice to millions, and his words remind me of artists I thought could not be matched. This struggle with existential and religious questions remind me of the brilliant Matt Johnson (The The) and Nick Cave. I'm reminded of the"I am" poem bt Thich Nhat Han. And this song also offers a preview of the brilliant finale of Hi, Ren. Thank you for shining your light, beautiful Ren.
Ren, your a one of a kind, a keeper. You so eloquently speak and sing what I've been feeling for decades. Bless your soul. You make me smile. Thank you.
This song puts the exact thoughts I had when I was younger that lead me to stop believing personally. Not throwing shade at anyone who believes, my family still does - but I just lost faith a long time ago.
I stopped believing in god because my family wouldn't stop shoving it down my throat and i came to resent the idea of religion as a whole.
The dead people in the name of Jesus, it was for the man in the high tower, the Pope , the king. God said you won't kill, but the people use those believers to kill to have more power. ( srry 4 my english, I dont want to write )
@@sorab0 that the thing god never said anything at the first place. you shouldn't need a book to tell you not to kill, instead use reason.
I’ve had the same experience recently and haven’t yet told my family
l had the same experience and lost faith, but l can't see the human race being just a aleatory thing, so l started studing human history and the religions to get ansers, and now l can say that there is something more than just what we can see, l don't no if it's name is god or another, but l know that there is something controling this universe.
I just think you're the most inspiring and talented artist
Can’t stop listening to this track Ren 💚
There’s no answers just the enteral dance like you said..sometimes it feels like the answer…sometimes it’s just relief that there’s light in this life.
Sometimes we need to suffer to see what we’re truly made of 💚
Keep writing about all the hard stuff that the radio would never play! I’m in a Ren hole after seeing “Hi Ren” 4 days ago. I’ve liked everything I’ve heard so far. You’re the Brene Brown poster child for creating success through sharing your vulnerability. Keep making art. Don’t stop. And thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Ren, your music means a lot to me and doing it all by yourself just make me so proud, you're a really virtuoso musician and an awesome artist, I hope the best for you Dude
Ren, please check your DMs man..!
I'm a filmmaker living in Syria..and I wanna collab!!!!
you can't get something without asking... this is me asking..
waiting for your reply
P.S:
It’s not your exposure nor followers or any of that... our targeted audience don’t even speak the same language..!
I wanna do it for art.
@@ToumaBittar Like and comment so it maybe gets seen better! Good luck, hope it happens!
Has he responded?
Speechless. Again. Mind blown. Again.
I was just recently introduced to your music... and your story. You are inspiring many people, Ren. I am making my way through your music and am blown away with every song. THIS one hit different. I feel like GOD must've heard you, because you are now getting the treatment you've so desperately needed. I've been struggling with my faith for a couple of years and this song just helped restore it a bit for me. Thank you!
You almost made me cry here Ren.
This is profound Ren im speechless
Ren is an actual lyrical genius and his music is so relatable I don’t know how it hasn’t completely taken off.
This one hits me harder than hi ren, which is saying something. You write such profound lyrics. I hope you now feel you have something solid to hold onto your faith in yourself, and a future, and humanity, although the last one is hard as people can be so cruel, but there's kindness too, just look at how people you haven't met have ralleighed together to help you get the treatment you need.that go fund me is a sign that it's okay to have some faith and hope for humanity Xxx
Ren Ren Ren this is crazy its like this guy is reading my mind so gifted
Hmmmm.... It's worrying to think that someone like Ren could easily slip through the cracks of a massively broken thing like the ‘Music Business’. I for one am so grateful that Ren and his fans have worked so hard at getting stuff out there to the people who need it most. Someone sent his music and poetry my way, or i found it, even if it was just the TH-cam algorithm, although i'm sure it was via some Big Push viewings years ago... anyway I’m thankful and will continue to rant on about Ren to anyone who'll listen and hopefully add my little bit of promo along the way. From comments on this and other tracks it’s clear to see that Ren has literally saved lives, right here, right NOW, and will hopefully continue save those lives, or at least make people question things or seek help, for a long time to come. More than ever Music and life is changing, how we consume things and how we discover them, WE are in a position now to determine what's important to US and not rely on what the business wants to feed us. I'm hoping that Ren, an independent artist, continues in his path and blows our minds with what's coming next. Stay strong my brother.✌
Amazing the skill you have to deliver every message you share in such a captivating way ... and what a voice too Ren.
You are indeed a unique talent, so glad I've found your material.
This just brought tears to my eyes. Not many artists can break through like this guy.
Just WOW! I’m brand new to REN, like yesterday new! I haven’t been as immediately blown away by an artist since I first heard the streets! Can’t wait to hear each new tune! RESPECT X
This dude is so underrated man, every word he says make sense in my head, I understand myself more, nuts man
If there's any Ren song I really want a part 2 for, it's definitely this one.
And once again you moved me to tears..... thank you!!
He is saying what we have all been thinking all along. Life can be a beautiful touching thing
My hat is off Ren. I was recommended by my 59yr old friend who almost evangilised about your stuff. He was right. You rock... and roll n everything in between. You speak the truth about mental health, hard lives, injustice and still bring humour and lightness to it. Your guitar playing is inspiring. Stay strong brother!
Your atheist friend.
I have become Alice falling down this rabbit hole labled "Ren"....
Thank you Ren, for all of it... i wish i found you so much earlier then recently.
Thank you so much for songs with interesting and significant lyrics. For real, music nowadays is usually soooooo boring. Like everyone tells the same story... except from you. Thank you for sharing this art.
Man, you are a very, very special human. This is (again) incredible.
You and your songs are keeping me alive in the quarantine, Ren.
3:15 pure magic
Thanks for this miracle
Az egyetlen magyar, akit eddig Ren zenéi alatt láttam az te vagy. 👌🏻 Tökéletes az ízlésed. 🔥
Please note that no harm was done to God during the making of this song...
Amazing as usual! Love you Ren!
This is one of my all time favorite songs. That is saying a lot. I saw Queen, live, in Philadelphia back in the late 70's. ❤
this lyrics is so relatable, you're an amazing artist.
For every emotion, every day and every situation there is a song from ren. You're immensely talented and every word you sing touches me and with every beat I get goosebumps. Thank you for your music
Wow..Beautiful..So thought provoking..just love Ren ❤️ When he sings about losing his best friends and the suicidal thoughts just wanna give him the biggest hug 🥺
Man the pendulum swings between dark and light (glad you said that makes my lifer easier to do) yeah i know was in a different song but relevant here now x
Amen.
God save you Ren
Your a light in a dark world and you have brightened my life this morning.
Thank you for living up to your calling
Raw perfection
So true. Feel the same.
I've been going back and listening to all of your songs and this one hits so hard, as many do. I have similar medical conditions that have suddenly worsened lately. I guess my condition is progressing again. I'm 38 but feel so much older and constantly wondering why. I've been listening to your music every night, throughout the day, and especially on my way to my medical appts. Because you're the only artist I've ever known who knew what it meant to suffer this way, and who actually talks about it. You're such a gift. Thank you.
I remember I started to get really into your music when you mentioned that you lost your friend in one of your songs. I lost mine too when we were both 13, we were neighbours... Now I'm almost 28 and I miss her and myself, I never went back to my old self, and it's part of my identity... sad to admit. Anyway, it's good to know that you are expelling the demons of that fucked up thing you were forced to live, even tho it's definetely not fair, to say the least. I hope I can see you someday playing live, I'm sure I will, maybe I rob a fucking bank and go over there someday haha! Just kidding. Much love from argentina, Ren! You are an inspiration.
twenty one pilots, half alive, ren, how do i keep getting tricked into listening to Christian music???
Haha if i was too call myself anything I would say agnostic, but I definitely have moments of trying to find answers in something outside and bigger than myself I guess god is just the easiest thing to call it
I interpreted the song as questioning the existence of a god rather than support of one. Almost like "if you're there, prove it. Do something because from what I see you must not exist." Just my take.
Honestly being a Christian myself these are a lot of questions I have for religion. At this point I just love the God I know, and he's gonna guide me instead of somebody on earth. This was really good
@@joeblow8940 "If you're there, prove it. Do something because from what I see you just don't care. If you're as real as all these people say, why do you let so many kids just waste away. Is the afterlife so much better than on earth? How can we know of heaven if some of us can't even experience our birth."
@@RenMakesMusic Hello Ren_ I hope u'll always okey.
Take care 😊
Awhh man, the last part is something I ask a lot too. Awesome as always Ren ❤
Where I was 3 years ago?
How many questions for you!
2023.First time heard for Ren.
Toda,y thank you for everything.
I m glad.Lucky me.
This was my most played song of 2020, which is seriously saying something (52,000 minutes listened).
I was raised in a very religious household and this song is so soothing to me. Thanks, Ren.

Ren keep killing it man
This hits home so hard... thank you Ren.... perfectly written and done. ❤❤
2 years ago? Man, I thought you were feeling better the last few years. I hope you are better after Canada. You sure have been creative despite everything, way to persevere Ren. With all these reactions I feel like the whole world will have your back soon. Keep blowing minds and blowin' up tracks.
i just found you ,after listening to Ren album ,repeatedly ,found this track that is for 2 years a go, I think god gave you the solace you asked for, in comments, there are Christian, Catholic, atheist and so on, and I am Muslim, we all liked your music....❤❤❤❤❤❤
God is in your fans,
And we have your back!
I found my brother from across the pond. Now I’m pondering all existence.
I'm so thankful i found your music. I've been sharing.
This guy blows my mind I'm a musician but this guy's made me re think everything 😂 his versatility is incredible I don't like rap never have but do now .his lyrics suck you in and take you on a journey
I personally love this song the most and probably have accounted for 50% of the views lol
mostly because of the music in the backround and how the rap is spread out, its just so good
This song speaks to me on an extremely personal level, I struggled with stuff like this for an extremely long time. In fact everything you put out speaks to me, I’m incredibly glad I found you!
Beautiful incredible & so deep like everything you make 🙏thank you for still being here & giving me a look at things differently you're insanely talented & understand but u have changed my life in the most amazing & strongest way ever ur my idol Ren ❣️ you're a genius 💯❗🩷
This is the kind of song that I needed to hear right now. I'm glad that I discovered your music.
It looks like you’ve found part of this answered because it’s become clear he did have an amazing plan for you after all. ❤
Late to the show. His words / vision speak louder than ever in 2023. This is what visionary looks - sounds like. Allegorical
I discovered Ren about 3 months ago and am working my way through his back catalogue. Your music never fails to move me. I've lost count of the times I've asked Why God in my life. I'm glad I'm not alone.
The fact I wanna die and this song started playing randomly though the magic of autoplay really doesn't feel random at all. This song makes me cry all the time and i can only hope i'm on the right path. Especially after listening to How To Be Me a few times, i guess this song answers that question
I hope, very much, that you are okay.
@@romilly99 Thank you, since then i've made more progress than I genuinely thought possible. I no longer want to die, and it's something I thought would be literally impossible. God saved me, I wasn't even trying to stay. I was just waiting for when I'd finally succeed. Miracles do happen, Im still flabbergasted lol
@@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule Good. I'm so glad. Miracles do happen, you're right, and I'm thrilled (and relieved) one has happened to you and that you were open to receiving it. Sending positive thoughts and love to wherever you are. ❤
Ren, WOW, you just do not disappoint do you?
I feel like this song is a real prayer maybe its what its supposed to be standing in your own pain and suffering daring to say you dont know, what could be more sacred than that Ren?
Thank you for your beautiful and honest heart. All the best bro❤
The eternal dance..you said it yourself 😌💚
I love the balance between faith and “atheism” this song carries. It draws our inner conflict perfectly.
amazing as always!!
Omg that voice …sends chills in my belly…amazing artist
Gotta admit, when I came to this track in your videos I was excited to see what you did to the XTC song of the same name. But I'm not disappointed in the quality of your work
Ren is a genre that defies a genre.
A genius who lets us mere mortals (or are we?) listen. ❤❤
